Arts Elevated (FAC)

Teaching secondary choir requires far more than just notes and rhythms. This practical and interactive session explores strategies for building a thriving choral classroom through effective warm-ups, engaging rehearsal techniques, student leadership development, thoughtful repertoire selection, and meaningful assessment practices. Participants will explore ways to strengthen ensemble culture, improve student retention, and create rehearsals that balance musical excellence with student connection and enjoyment. Designed for secondary music educators, this session will provide adaptable tools and ideas that can be implemented immediately in rehearsal.
